Chapter 1687: Bridgehead (seeking monthly ticket)

    After the German army took Cape Breton Ind, both the United States and the United Kingdom felt a great threat and began to frantically send additional troops to the Nova Scotia Penins and New Brunswick in an attempt to keep the German army out of the North American continent.


    Although the German army captured Newfounnd and Cape Breton Ind sessively, there was always a strait between them and the North American continent. Even though the strait is only one kilometer wide, it has not really set foot on the North American continent after all.


    When the British army retreated from Cape Breton Ind, they blew up the bridge over the Canso Strait. They hoped to make this strait a natural barrier, thereby preventing the German army from approaching the North American continent.


    But unfortunately, such a narrow strait is obviously impossible to withstand the German attack.


    The German Marine Corps has already verified the sess of theirnding tactics by relying on several previousnding operations. Coupled with the German engineering troops, it is entirely possible to build a pontoon bridge on the Canso Strait within two hours. Therefore, if the German army wants to cross the strait andunch an attack on the Nova Scotia Penins, it will be very difficult for the US and British forces to resist it.


    However, there were also differences within the German army regarding the next step. Previously, the German army nned tond on Cape Breton Ind and Prince Edward Ind at the same time. However, because the British Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Force invested the main force in order topete for air supremacy, the carrier-based aircraft units of the Luftwaffe and Navy had to fight with all their strength. Although relying on the continuous support of troops from home, it not only withstood the attacks of the U.S. Army Air Force and the Royal Air Force, but also severely damaged the U.S. and British troops. But this also caused the German army''s n tond on Prince Edward Ind to be postponed indefinitely.


    Now, the Germans have captured Cape Breton Ind. Therefore, the Marine Corps proposed tond on Prince Edward Ind and seize the ind to further strengthen the strength of the German army outside the North American continent.


    However, the Army has the opposite opinion. After they took Cape Breton Ind, they were only one step away from the North American maind. As long as you cross the narrow Canso Strait, you cannd on the North American continent. There is absolutely no need to waste troops to attack Prince Edward Ind.


    The differences between the two sides were finally handed over to Marshal Bromberg,mander of Army Group A andmander of Army Group 1.


    Marshal Bromberg made the final choice after careful consideration and reporting to the General Staff.


    On the night when Cape Breton Ind was captured, Marshal Bromberg met with the Marine Corpsmander, Admiral Ernst von Busch.


    Although, Marshal Bromberg has a higher rank and is also the suprememander of thending in North America. But it is not a system with the Marine Corps after all. What''s more, the Marine Corps showed extremely strongbat effectiveness in this battle and made so many great achievements. General Busch''s promotion to marshal is just around the corner. Therefore, in front of Admiral Busch, Marshal Bromberg did not put on airs. Especially if a direct attack on the Nova Scotia penins is to beunched, the assistance of the Marine Corps is also indispensable. Although thebat effectiveness of the German Army is very strong, the Marine Corps is professional innding operations.


    "General Busch, after careful consideration, I also feel that there is no need tounch an attack on Prince Edward Ind." Marshal Bromberg said.


    Admiral Dashi did not answer.


    Marshal Bromberg knew that he had to convince Admiral Busch.


    "After we took Cape Breton Ind, Prince Edward Ind is of little use to us. Although the British still have more than 100,000 troops on Prince Edward Ind. However, if we seed in Nova Scotia Afternding on the penins and sweeping across the Nova Scotia Penins in one fell swoop, the British troops stationed on Prince Edward Ind will not only pose no threat to us, but will be in trouble. At that time, the only option for the British is to get out of there as soon as possible Withdraw the troops. And we only need to send a small group of troops to the ind, and we will be able to take it there." Marshal Bromberg said.


    Admiral Busch nodded, this is indeed a reason.


    "In addition, ording to the information we have received, the British and Americans are frantically adding troops to the Nova Scotia penins and New Brunswick. If time drags on, the British and Americans will There will be more and more troops in the region, which will have a great impact on us. Therefore, we mustnd on the Nova Scotia penins as soon as possible to defeat the British and American troops there." Marshal Bromberg continued.


    "But, Marshal, are we really ready? As you said just now, the Americans and the British have heavily stationed troops. At present, apart from the five divisions of the Marine Corps, there are only There are only two Army Group Armies with a total strength of 500,000 troops. What we will face will be more than a million or even more American and British coalition forces." General Ernst von Busch said.


    If it is to attack Prince Edward Ind, the strength of the German army is enough to sweep the ind and capture here. In turn, it posed a threat to New Brunswick, forcing the US and British coalition forces to deploy heavy troops along the coast of New Brunswick. In this way, the strength of the US and British coalition forces can be restrained.


    "General Busch, the 10th Army will arrive in two days. The 25th Army and the 26th Army are also on board at home. Soon, they will arrive in North America. By then, we will have five armies and Five Marine Divisions are to fight this battle. We shall have sufficient forces to defeat the American and British forces in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, thereby establishing our superiority in this area. In this way, whether we go west Whether to continue to attack the United Kingdom or to attack the United States southward, there is more room for maneuver.” Field Marshal Bromberg said.


    General Busch frowned. If the Army''s 10th Army, 25th Army, and 26th Army can arrive in the near future, the German army will not be at a disadvantage in terms of strength. More importantly, thebat effectiveness of the German army is obviously higher than that of the US and British allied forces. In this case, the possibility of the German army defeating the American and British coalition forces in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will be very high. As Marshal Bromberg said, the situation will be more favorable to the German army by then.


    "However, Your Excellency Marshal, the impact of the weather on us will not be small." Admiral Busch reminded.


    Marshal Bromberg nodded: "So, before the arrival of spring, our goal is only to capture the Nova Scotia Penins and New Brunswick, and use this as the bridgehead for our attack on North America. Then, quietly Waiting for spring toe."
